RIDE QUALITY
The feel of steel and it when its fully custom tuned by Knolly rather than off-the-shelf tubeset. Both steel and Ti Tyaughtons offer an exceptional ride quality - comfortable yet just enough snap to feel great under power.
REAL STEEL
The Tyaughton is made from air hardened steel, which is malleable and allows for fine tuning of the tubing to Knolly's exact specs. It's heat treat to give strength and durability and also ED anti-corrosion coating to handle all-weather conditions.
157TRAIL
Knolly skipped 148 Boost and went straight for 157TRAIL. Skipping the hype and focusing on where it matters - ride quality. Knolly's 157TRAIL gives us a stiffer 29" rear wheel, more tyre clearance, shorter stays and only a minimal effect on heel clearance at the chainstays
FORK OPTIONS
NO FOURBY4, STILL FUN
The Fourby4 has always been the core of Knolly's for that massive grip inducing traction in all types of trails. While the Tyaughton has no rear suspension or Fourby4, it's still hella fun, the steel or ti versions offer a nice damped ride quality which still searches for extra grip and the progressive geometry inspires confidence. Each frame gets a custom tubeset - the smaller sizes get tubes that are more compliant. The simplicity of a well designed hardtail made to ride the gnarliest terrain is a great feeling. No rear shock tuning or servicing so you can just get out in the mud an filth and shred your favourite trails and be liberated!
"The funness of a well thought out hardtail is hard to beat, you just get out and ride, explore and ride some more. Climbing is quick and efficient and the progressive geo just oozes confidence no matter what trails you ride"
LIFETIME WARRANTY
There is no doubt Knolly's are made to be ridden hard and being born on the shore means they need to be tough to take the abuse and aggressive riding they are built for. A true test of the strength and durability is Knolly's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Knolly also offers an excellent crash replacement program
LOTS of details get poured into knolly's, not a detail is spared and it just feels nice to know your new rig is engineered from the ground-up. with no new models being pumped out every year and a lifetime warranty - it's nice in this day and age to not have to replace your bike every year to get the latest and greatest.
CRANK COMPATIBILITY
SRAM DUB
SRAM's new DUB system comes in two versions. Regular and SB+. The regular version works on the Fugitive but you have to switch to a zero offset chainring (see below). The SB+ version has a bottom bracket, cranks and chainring combination that works perfectly on the Fugitive. The X01, GX, and Descendant 7k DUB SB+ cranks have a longer axle and a wider BB spacer that works with 157TRAIL. All the DUB BB's are the same.
SRAM STANDARD
A standard SRAM crank with a zero offset chainring - One-Up and Chromag both have a great option - will work but it does limit the largest ring size on the front to 32t.
SHIMANO
Shimano offers their cranks with a +3 option (the part number should have a "B" on the end like this: FC-M8000-B). The axle length and BB are the same as their standard cranks so the offset is worked into the chainring mount. This system will work as both a 1x and a 2x option on the Fugitive. NOTE: this set up requires one spacer between the BB and the frame on the drive side. Maximum size chainring is a 32t ring with this setup. The XTR, XT and SLX cranks in this configuration work on the Fugitive. The new Shimano XTR, XT and SLX 12 speed cranks come in a 56.5 chainline
RACE FACE
Any direct mount Raceface crank with a flipped Direct Mount ring will work. You can also run a direct mount flat ring from Black-Spire .Raceface rings come with a 3mm offset so when the ring is removed and flipped (the teeth profile works like this as well) it becomes a -3mm offset and the chainline works on the Fugitive. For a 1x system you can run a flipped ring on the Next SL, Next R, and Turbine cranks with a 134mm axle, or the Atlas and SIXC with the 136mm axle, or the Aeffect and Ride Cinch cranks with 137mm axle. For a 2x system you can run the Next SL, Next R or Turbine with a 143mm axle and a Boost spider. Helpful graphic for chainline. Raceface also now offers their cranks in a 143mm BB spindle which will provide a 55.5 chainline without having to flip the ring.
FSA
FSA has 5 different MTN cranks that work with our 157TRAIL rear. Their system is very simple - you simply move one spacer from between the crank and the spider to between the spider and the BB to provide the right chainline.
HUMAN CENTRIC SIZING
Mountain Biking is for everyone - Every size and every gender - Knolly has been making bikes for 16 years - bikes that get all riders out on the trails.
Because Knolly frames feature a continuous seat tube they allow for a full range of seat heights: on many other frames, the seat tube is either bent or interrupted by the shock allowing only a restricted range of seat heights (this problem is exasperated as frame sizes become smaller). Our frames feature both a continuous seat tube as well as a low “dropped seat height” - meaning the seat actually travels forward and out of the way - which allows riders of all sizes to get farther back on the bike when the terrain demands it.
One of the side benefits of Knolly's Fourby4 design is the ability to accommodate smaller riders, even with up to 170-200mm of rear suspension travel. This keeps the shock mounted low which means we can drop our top tubes for better stand-over clearance. It also means the center of mass on the frame is low and that equates to exceptional handling in technical terrain. Smaller riders can run a 150mm dropper post on our bikes due to the low stand-over height and straight seat tube.
Sizing these days is a hugely debatable topic - everyone is telling me to upsize, go for more reach. Much Confusion? You can feel confident knowing that Knolly has thought through the details thoroughly and all their bikes offer a balanced ride and proper weight distribution for their intended purpose.

Because Knolly frames feature a continuous seat tube they allow for a full range of seat heights: on many other frames, the seat tube is either bent or interrupted by the shock allowing only a restricted range of seat heights (this problem is exasperated as frame sizes become smaller).

In an effort to help you find the right frame size we reached out to our Knation of riders and asked them these three questions: How tall are you? What is your inseam? What size Knolly do you ride?The data below is from real riders, human beings that actually ride our product, so it is a great reference point to help you chose a frame size. Of course this is still just a guide but this is a great example for those riders that fall right in between sizes. Now you can see what other riders have chosen.
